Public Purpose Program
WTF!!!! My PPP went from a steady 9 to 11% of my actual usage to over 100% overnight....At what point does it end? I understand that our wonderful government wants to provide for everyone that's less fortunate, lazy or just plain smart because they figured out a way to live off the actual working taxpayers in this country, but seriuosly? Will we have a tea party now or will America still sleep at the wheel until we are paying for food, housing, elecrticity, health care, natural gas, baby formula, telephone service, education, public subsidized transportation and a lifelong retirement on Social Security for those unwilling to work? Oh we already do!!!
Shit! lets just buy everyone a new car, a house and start a public 401k for them too!!
Wake up America!! Whose smarter?? I should stop working so hard to provide for my family because soon everything will be free to anyone too fucking lazy to get a job!!!
If you cant afford it, you didnt want it bad enough to make better choices. How about some personal responsibility?
Who will be to blame when this ship sinks? Are we going to pass the blame on to our children too....we should all be ashamed for allowing this and the freeloaders should get off their lazy ass and contribute!
Subsidizing the poor
It sounds to me, like you are one big selfish pig! I guess you have it good, obviously you would deny those less fortunate than yourself of anything. You are a sorry excuse for a human being!
Solar swimming pool heating
Can anyone assist me with finding information - short of requesting a proposal - about an approximate range of costs for installation of solar heating for a swimming pool. Our Association has been presented with a couple of proposals in the $14,000 range yet the SF Chronicle, Oct. 2007, stated a range of $4500-$6000. Why would there be such a large difference in cost? The pool is only a little larger than a basic home swimming pool. I assume materials selected will influence, and prices of everything have risen but these quotations are 2 1/2 to 3 times more than the Oct. 2007 range. Thanks for any insight or referrals.
energy usage caculator
This should help you. http://www.ucan.org/energy/electricity/kilowatt_calculator I would up the cost from the stated 17.5 cents per kwh. to 25.0 cents a kwh.
energy usage caculator
Where can I find an engergy usage caculator. I want to know how to figure the hourly cost of various appliances. ie: an appliance that has 1000 watts or something rated at 3000 BTU's
Once upon a time SDG&E included a simular chart in their billing. I've searched their web site and all I can find is a generic room to room cost guide.
Thank you
